Cashew Sandwich Bread

Jul 4, 2024 · 6 Comments

Cashew Sandwich Bread near window image

An early recipe for cashew brioche bread was the beginning of grain-free bread baking for me and I've wanted to iterate on it for a while. Back then I noticed a few grain-free chefs riffing on it so I figured it was taken care of. But I have to admit I really enjoy this recipe more than what is out there so I decided to circle back to it.

This new version reliably delivers a light, airy loaf with great texture and crust. I've added coconut flour to the mix and use smooth raw cashew butter instead of ground raw cashews. It rises perfectly and stores well either sealed at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for a few weeks, and can be frozen for a few months.

I've been relying more and more on silicone baking products and I loving this silicone loaf pan. I lightly grease the sides and bottom with coconut oil and the bread loaf easily slips out of the mold straight from the oven so I can place it on a cooling rack immediately. If you don't have a silicon loaf pan you can place parchment paper on the bottom of a regular loaf pan and grease the sides.

If you're thinking of making your own cashew butter, you'll need about 2 cups of raw cashews to yield about 1 cup of cashew butter. You'll want to process it in a food processor for several minutes as it goes from nuts to a ball of dough and then finally converts to smooth nut butter. You can add some oil to help smooth it out but I'm not sure if it would change this recipe.

This bread is so versatile: you can use it for French toast, sandwiches, toast, breadcrumbs, or cut it up into cubes and toast to make croutons. Enjoy!

    Hi Erica! What would you recommend as a substitute for apple juice? I don't usually have it on hand but I always have cashew milk so; I was thinking of trying a little honey (sweetness) and cashew milk (liquid) as an alternative. Thanks!

    This is the closest thing to bread we've tried since starting the SCD diet six months ago. Even my toddler, who is a tough critic, approves of this recipe.
